I liked it

Warehouse Worker (Former Employee) – Wausau, WI – August 17, 2017

I enjoyed working there with Dave and Pops. We had a good crew when we worked there. THe only thing that was not fun was the pay. But I recomend working there.

Thanks so much for your hard work, and good luck with your future jobs!

A typical day was usually working the closing shift waiting on customers and delivering advice for store associates on selling techniques. I learned working their that it all starts with the store manager on delivering and setting the example in the store. The management staff was not aligned because there was no expectations set out by the store manager. The culture in the store was not the best, it seemed like everyone was for themselves. The hardest part of the job was trying to move to the next level with no support from the store manager. Most enjoyable part was working with new products in the tool industry.

Thanks so much for your feedback and for being a part of our team in Norfolk, VA. We want to ensure that all our associates are having a positive experience with management and continue to provide value to the hardworking. Best of luck on your career journey moving forward!

Cashier (Former Employee) – Springfield, IL – August 15, 2017

I was in school when I worked there and they never let me off on time for class. They knew I needed something around my school schedule. Never enough cashiers on schedule. Lines too long with just me there while managers ignored the calls for help with customers. Bad management.

Over the past few years we have made some big changes to the way we operate and your feedback will help us continue to improve. We care about providing a great place for our employees to work so they can deliver great service and value to our hardworking customers who depend on our products. We wish you the best on your career journey!

Don't work here

Cashier (Former Employee) – Warren, MI – August 15, 2017

Management is terrible, you don't want to work here. You get paid really terrible. They don't really show you what to do and the people that work there aren't so good neither

Harbor Freight Tools is a great place to work and gain new skills, if you work hard and pull your weight showing improvement they will work with you. The only issues I have had so far working with Harbor Freight, is simply not getting enough hours. I love each and every co worker I've gotten to know even the higher ups are kind and have learning and customer service as a top priority, that is how you know you are part of a great company. I love helping Customers and my fellow team members. Harbor Freight also prides itself in being safe, doing the right thing, and of course having quality tools at the lowest prices. I take pride in working here, and would highly recommend it for a first job.

Decent job bad management

Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Palm Bay, FL – August 13, 2017

I can't complain much about the work at Harbor Freight, slow paced but there were things you could keep yourself busy with. The management however, I have quite a lot to complain about. They were impersonal, Short tempered, played favorites and picked on everyone else. Long story short its a okay temporary job but only if you're desperate

We care about providing a great place for our associates to work so they can deliver great service and value to our hardworking customers who depend on our products. Your feedback is valuable for us, so we can continue to improve and deliver excellence at every level of employment, including management. Good luck on the rest of your career journey!

Logistics Associate (Former Employee) – Clovis, NM – August 12, 2017

It was a fun job, but there are not nearly enough full-time positions offered. The manager was awesome, the supervisors were alright. A good job if you enjoy stocking and organizing.

Poor Management

Associate Sales (Current Employee) – Michigan – August 12, 2017

Company doesn't follow their own policies. Associates are treated poorly unless you know how to kiss supervisors butts. No room for advancement. Trucks at 5 am. Supposed to recycle cardboard to help environment but every truck day they are putting cardboard in the trash. Management shows favoritism to certain associates.

Harbor Freight Tools is committed to continuous improvement, which your feedback is going to help us continue to do. We appreciate your hard work and all you and the team do to make Harbor Freight a great place to work and shop. Please know that your store manager and district manager are open to your feedback and would appreciate you sharing you concerns. Keep up the great work and we will see you in the stores.

A lot of drama and some people are fun to be around and work with .....management is all over the place, no one is on one accord...older customers and construction and any type of maintinece is your customer base

As you know we are committed to constantly improving our processes and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and we will make sure to share it with the appropriate team members. We appreciate your hard work and dedication to helping Harbor Freight Tools deliver value to the hardworking.

You meet wonderful people to work for and the environment is quiet and fast pace. Sorry.... I had bad experience at this company. Definitely looking forward to find another job where I can use my background and experience.

We agree that we have wonderful associates in our offices. Harbor Freight Tools is growing so it continues to be a fast paced environment. We appreciate your feed back and wish you the best in your next job!
